STORMS have come on the lakes this
fall with alarming frequency and with
considerable loss of property in each in
stance. Saturdays storm was quite a
severe one, on land as well as on water.
So severe was it in Chicago that with the
accompaniment of snow street cars in GER
tain divisions had to stop running. The
county board of Racine county while on
their way to the hospital became lost in
a binding snow storm and suffered great
ly from exposure. There were no saloons
on the route.
Sailors suffered a great deal because of
cold and snow.
A small boat was lost near Kenosha
with her crew of four. Captain johnson
of the Penobscot was lost off his boat be-
cause of the icy condition of the deck
and lurch of the boat Many minor
accidents occurred.
On Monday the propeller Waverly
went ashore at White Fish Bay, the cap
tain mistaking bright light which he
saw, for that at North Point and think
ing he was entering Milwaukee Bay. On
he same trip she ran ashore at the Mani
tous.

TYPHOID FEVER seems to be having a
most decided run throughout the entire
country. Physicians are unable to dis
cover the cause OF this universal out
breaking but ind it convenient to ascribe
1t to the water. Accepting this cause
many seek to destroy the germs by boil
ing the water before drinking it while
others use cistern water instead of that
from wells or rivers. Some people as
cribe the prevalence of the disease to the
drouth but there is little probability in
that. The fact remains that typhoid few
er is very common and that careful living
Is the beet preventive.

was for the purpose of Judging of the
patronage which might be counted upon
in case of the establishment of the line as
well as to learn what dock facilities could
be secured. The present report seems to
come from a reliable source. The line, it
is said, will be to Ludington.

CUTTING GARMENTS FOR MEN.
How Ready Made Clothing II Made TO
Fit the Average Customer.
No. e West Martin treet,
MARTINsBURo, w. VA.


Fit the Average Customer.
Every man Of well proportioned figure
can 60 into o ready made clothing estab-
hshment and purchase suit that win fit
him tolerably we'll for . very little money.
There was time when the prices were
not so reasonable and the ct of the gar
rcnts not 50 satisfactory. The ready
nnde business has been carried to d de-
gree Of perfection during the past few
years that has rnGdc bankrupts of many
custom tailo-s. Deductions have been
drawn from experience, experiments have
been tried, and the human figure has
been 50 carefully studied, that TN average
measurement has been established where
BY nine out Of every ten men can be fitted
to their satisfaction.
The system Of cutting garments adopted
BY the leading establishments is known as
the progressive method. y It starts from
the chest measurement and works accord
ing to q law Ct progression. It has been
proved that the figure Of well built man
can be fitted from the chest measurement
alonc-in other wort.s, man who meas
ures Al inches across the chest win. Il
nature hts endowed him with perfect
form, measure 50 BID inches across the
shoulders and 90 81 inches at the shoulder
blade. These are the fundamental mess-
urerlents 0f tailors, for II coat fits
snugly 1t the shoulders other c6nsidera-
tons are, with most men, Of small Inn
p0rtance. II d man measures AZ or rs
inches across the chest the other proper
tons increase progressively three fourthg
Of an inch around the shoulders and one
half On inch ct tic shoulder blade for every
additional inch of chest measurement.
The trousers are secondary matter.
They are made Of all sizes, to suit long
and Short legged men alike.
OF course many men cannot be fitted
well In ready made garments. They are
made for the average figure, and not fos
the peculiar build Of badly formed men.
The progressive method has proved so
successful that even custom tailors have
adopted the chest measurement to start
from making other notifications ii the
cut of the garments afterward to suit the
proportions Of their patrons. Some tailors
advertise by circulars TO make perfectly
fitting garments from the measurement Of
